Meat is meat, Halal, Kosher whatever!

I grew up taking a chicken out the pens, necking it, cleaning out, plucking and presenting to mum to cook.

Later on, it would be broom handle over a goose neck, stand on broom handle, body under my arms, twist and pull.

Pheasant, partridge, woodies, rabbits were staple takes of my teens/twenties. I used to do a few deer culls back then too.

I have always made quick kills and never inflicted unnecessary suffering.

My cousin was a pork butcher. The pigs walked in downstairs and were carried out of the shop upstairs. Everything but the squeek got used. Until the rules got changed a few years ago. He slaughtered all his own. One of my local butchers still runs a slaughterhouse. If you care about the quality and welfare of your meat. Buy from a local butcher who can tell you how/when it was slaughtered, what farm it came from etc.
